Well, lookie here, gotta talk about this here OMEGA Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch, the one with the see-through back, you know? They call it transparent. Heard it’s somethin’ special, sold in them fancy specialty stores.
This here watch, it ain’t cheap, no sir. I heard tell they go for a whole heap of money. Like, between 500 and 35,000 of them dollar bills! Most folks, they pay ’round 4,000 for one. Can you believe it?
Now, this Speedmaster, they call it the Moonwatch. Why? ‘Cause way back when, in ’69, when them astronaut fellas went to the moon, this is the watch they had on their wrists! First watch on the moon, they say. Must be somethin’ real special, huh?
Some folks, they like to change the back of these watches. Swap it out for one of them sapphire crystal things. There’s this fella, Thomas Preik, makes good ones. You can put ’em on any Speedmaster, I hear. There are some other watches too, like this Seiko Prospex, whatever that is. That needs special part, called C-Clip. Complicated stuff, I say.
I saw one of these Moonwatches, the hesalite one. Don’t rightly know what that means, but it looked nice. Shiny and all.
- This watch, it’s got this Omega Calibre 3861 engine.
- Runs for 50 hours, that’s what they say.
- Shows you the hours, minutes, and seconds.
- And somethin’ called “Power Reserve”.
They say there’s a new one, all authentic and such. It is called Omega Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch Transparent Case back, model number 310.30.42.50.01.002. Steel, black dial. Fancy words, huh? That Steven Fong, he knows about these fancy watches, I reckon.
Some folks, they sell these special backs for the watch. Made of stainless steel, with that sapphire crystal. Fits the ones with 1861 or 1863 inside. More numbers! It’s all a bit much for me.
This watch, it’s big. 42 mm, they say. Steel case, that sapphire crystal back again. Aluminum bezel ring. Some kind of special scratch-resistant crystal on the front, too. Black dial. This dial got steps, like my porch.
Now, if you don’t like that hesalite thing, there’s another one. More modern, they call it. With a sapphire crystal. This one is called ref. 310.30.42.50.01.002. So many numbers!
I saw somethin’ about a 2021 Omega 310.30.42.50.01.002 Speedmaster Moon Watch Professional. Hand-winding, see-through back, chronograph. Black. Waterproof, too, up to 5 ATM. Whatever that means. This one only costs you 10 dollars, seems like a good deal, huh? But it is called parallel import, I don’t know. Just buy the real one I say. They also have this Omega Speedmaster Co-Axial thing. That’s a lot of fancy talk for a watch, if you ask me.
This Speedmaster Pro, that’s the one they say is like the one worn on that Apollo 11 trip. Back in ’69. They call it the Moonwatch, like I said before.
This OMEGA Speedmaster, it’s a tough watch. That is what I know. Went to the moon, you know? Must be able to handle anything. The one with transparent back must be good, you can see all the moving parts inside. That is kinda cool. But I don’t know how to clean it.
These specialty stores, they got all kinds of these Speedmaster watches. Different colors, different straps. Some got leather straps, some got metal. All depends on what you like, I suppose. And how much money you got to spend!
This Moonwatch is popular. Everyone wants one. You can buy it in the Specialty Stores or online. But don’t buy the fake one, make sure you get the real OMEGA one. I hear people say good things about this OMEGA watch. Maybe I should get one, but I don’t have that much money. If you want somethin’ special, this might be the watch for you. Just make sure you get the real deal, not some cheap knock-off. This is the end of my talk. Hope it helps someone who is looking to buy a watch. This is my two cents.
